Abstract
This study evaluated the applicability of quantitative PCR (Q-PCR) and branched-chain DNA assays for detection of hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA in sera. For 42 samples, the detection rates were 81 and 41%, respectively, with a correlation coefficient of 0.633. The Q-PCR is useful for early monitoring of HBV load in high-risk patients.Entities:
